Okay

So, basically, since this is my blog, I'm going to make this blog my daily journal. Or at least I'll try to post once a day or something along those lines.

I wake up this morning, at 5:55. Yeah, that is bullcrap. My parents were playing some stupid music video about pants being on the floor. I proceeded to interrupt and crab dance / hammertime mock them and the video. Good start for having less than 5 hours of sleep.

My intention was wake up at 6:30, get myself ready, and drive to Ithaca so I could attend classes. Well, guess what? I start driving, I'm on my way. I take a turn and hit the gas, and my car just stops. It died. So I could either simply attempt to make it to Ithaca, or I could just stay in Auburn. I stayed. Fan-fricken-tastic. I had to miss classes on my first week of damn college. So I'm kinda pissed about that. Oh well.

So anyhoo, on to class related stuff. Just because I wasn't able to attend one of my classes didn't stop me from attending one of my classes. I got on second life, and was told a series of events and such I had to do.



So, in the image above, you can see the island / town of ZeppelinHeim, and me, Zalachai Silversmith. So, first off, there was only one person on at the time of this picture, and that was me. So I walked around ZeppelinHeim, and took some more pictures.



As you can see, this is a rural / residential area. Classic 1800's kind of feel.



It's actually kind of a place I wouldn't mind living in. But it was completely empty. I wanted to observe people, but no one was there.





I wanted to try dueling too...but no one was on. I'll have to try back later.



Kinda hard to see at night, but that there is the Zeppelin for which the town / island is named for.



And this here is an overhead view of part of the island. The castle-esque building is by far my favorite one. Towers on houses are awesome.

So that concludes our broadcast view of Zeppelheim for now. Hopefully when I return later, there will actually be people on the island.

And hot damn, this is a long-ass post.

Thoughts on Second Life


Well, I've always been a gamer. So playing Second Life isn't too weird or different for me. I play MMO's from time to time, usually MMORPG. Once I've figured out how to move and work the system, I set forward to dominate. Once while I was playing Ragnarok Online, I created a character, a gunslinger, and joined the all-gunslinger guild. I got promoted to Team Healer because I always carried more than enough revive items and healing potions. But enough of that.

Second Life is somewhat different because it is not an RPG. Because of this, it is more like a world-simulator, which isn't too bad, but I've always played more as a loner who fights monsters than as a player who chills in towns and chats to random people.

Welcome
